Veronica Jones was sleeping inside. She was thankful to be able to walk away.

"I was asleep in bed. Next thing I know, I'm thrown from the bed," she said. "I immediately ran through the hole (because) the car's on fire. I kept running down the street."

The building has been condemned. The Red Cross is helping 16 people who are displaced.
